This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 443: The Great Purge of Fighters

"Whoa… there are still quite a few fighters left, huh."

"But there isn't much time left in the tournament, and we're only interested in the true elites."

"As for the others—"

"Let's clean them out!"

Standing atop the Pillar of Time, Yuujin swept his gaze over the remaining fighters from all other universes and made his decision.

"Gohan-kun, let's start with you."

Fixing his eyes on Son Gohan from Universe 7, Yuujin said with a smiling expression, then raised his hand and fired a massive energy sphere several meters wide.

To be fair, Son Gohan's strength wasn't bad. He could transform into Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2, and thanks to the Elder Kai's potential unlock, he even had a unique power-up. But compared to his father Son Goku and others, he was still far behind. In this tournament, which gathered the strongest across the multiverse, his power could at best be considered average.

"Gohan, watch out!"

"Haahhhhhhh!!!"

Seeing Yuujin suddenly launch an attack at Gohan, Son Goku cried out in alarm. Sensing the danger, Gohan immediately powered up to try and block the energy sphere.

However, even though Yuujin had casually fired the blast, it wasn't something Gohan could easily stop. The massive sphere forced him back across the arena, eventually sending him flying off the edge with a shocked cry.

"Universe 7's Son Gohan—eliminated."

The Grand Priest announced from his floating platform. Watching Gohan appear in the spectator stands, Krillin and Tien couldn't hide their disbelief.

For someone as strong as Gohan to be knocked off the stage so easily?

Initially dazed, Gohan was shocked and deeply ashamed when he realized he had already been eliminated.

"I'm sorry… everyone!"

He bowed deeply, feeling that he had let everyone down.

In a way, he was just like Goteno and Trunksia. Though born with great talent, having a powerful father made him lazy with training. He only ever trained when forced to. How could someone like that ever become a top-tier fighter?

Let this serve as a wake-up call. For these unmotivated children, their fathers really do worry themselves to death.

"Piccolo, you're next."

With a smirk, Yuujin fired another energy sphere toward Piccolo.

"Piccolo!!!"

Goku cried out and tried to help, but Vegea stepped in to block him.

"Kakarot, from here on out, only the real elites get to stay. With their weak power levels, they're better off leaving. Staying would just mean suffering or getting in the way!"

Arms crossed, Vegeta spoke coldly.

"But… but still…"

Though he felt Vegeta had a point, watching his comrades get knocked off one by one made it hard for Goku to accept.

As expected, Piccolo also failed to block Yuujin's casual attack and was sent flying off the stage by the energy blast.

"Master Roshi."

After eliminating Piccolo, Yuujin looked toward Master Roshi. This time, however, he didn't make a move.

"Sigh… I understand. I'll leave the stage on my own."

With a weary sigh, Master Roshi spoke.

"Grandpa!"

Goku was visibly upset, not wanting Roshi to leave like this.

"Goku, my boy… Vegeta is right. With my strength, staying here won't help. I'd only be a burden you all have to look after."

"The next phase of battle is up to you. Fight with everything you've got—for the sake of our universe!"

"I-I understand, Grandpa!"

After offering encouragement, Master Roshi stepped off the stage himself under everyone's gaze.

"Yuujin, Gokumi—you said you were my disciples from another universe, right?"

He looked up at Yuujin and Goteno on the Pillar of Time and asked.

"Yes, Master Roshi."

Yuujin nodded.

"Then the me from your universe must've done a fine job raising such excellent disciples. I'm sure he'd be proud of you."

"Even if we're on opposing sides now, do your best… my other-worldly disciples."

"Mhm! We will, Grandpa Roshi!"

Gokumi waved cheerfully while Yuujin nodded, and under everyone's watchful gaze, Master Roshi gracefully exited the arena.

Yuujin's gaze now turned to Frieza and Android 17.

Both immediately felt their scalps tingle and got into battle stances.

But Yuujin didn't attack them. He simply shifted his gaze elsewhere.

"Ho? You're not going to knock us off too?"

Frieza asked.

"You both barely qualify to remain."

Yuujin replied.

"Oh my, what an honor."

17 exhaled in relief, and Frieza smiled sweetly.

But beneath that fake smile, Frieza's eyes were ice-cold.

To think the mighty Lord Frieza would one day be regarded as so expendable.

Damn Saiyans… just you wait!!!

With Universe 7 now "purged," only the elites—Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and Android 17—remained to participate in the final battle. Yuujin then turned his gaze to the nearby Universe 4.

Universe 4 had three remaining fighters: the female warrior Monna, and two invisible warriors—Damom and Gamisalas. But judging from their ki and earlier performance, they weren't much of a threat. Yuujin decided to eliminate them all.

First was Monna. Yuujin fired a several-meter-wide energy ball at her as well.

"Damn it! I won't lose to you!"

True to her tough, bulky build, Monna didn't retreat. Like a human wrecking ball from a certain ninja world, she curled into a rolling ball and charged straight in.

Well… full marks for bravery. The result? She screamed as the energy ball blasted her off the stage.

Next up was Gamisalas. He could turn invisible and hide his ki. But when Monna got knocked off, he leaked a bit of his energy and gave himself away. One energy ball from Yuujin sent him flying out.

Finally came Damom, an insectoid warrior. His small size made him hard to spot—but he couldn't hide his ki. Yuujin casually fired a ki blast, chasing him around the stage for a bit before knocking him off.

And just like that, all of Universe 4's remaining fighters were eliminated—except for Gavi, who had already been captured by Yuujin.

But the purge continued!

"Cabba!"

"Ahhhhhh—!"

"Frost!"

"Damn it!!!"

Cabba and Frost from Universe 6 were also unable to withstand Yuujin's casual attacks and were knocked out of the ring. Yuujin then turned his devilish eyes to the last two from that universe—Kale and Caulifla.

"Kale-chan, Caulifla, since you're my disciples… I'll give you a special gift."

The energy blasts Yuujin used to eliminate others were only a few meters wide. But now, he conjured one dozens of meters across. The massive energy sphere radiated terrifying power as Yuujin hurled it straight at the two girls.

Staring at the colossal energy ball barreling toward them, Kale was frozen with fear, and Caulifla's face darkened.

What do you mean we're your disciples?!

What kind of twisted master "takes care" of his students like this?!

Damn bastard!!!
